After being seriously ill as a teenager, Jay decided to turn his life around and make health and wellness a priority in his life. Counting surfing and travelling as some of his interests, Jay considers a getaway to Kangaroo Island as his dream date.

What are your biggest turn-offs in a woman?Loud, obnoxious, attention seekers.

Do you have any hidden talents?I used to play the harmonica. Does that count?

Who is your hero and why?Any thought leader who has the ability to inspire change in the lives he or she touches.

Jay was eliminated and this is an interview he did. He has been through a lot and overcome so much! I hope the best for him

The Bachelorette contestant has had more than his fair share of fresh starts, having fallen very ill as a teenager.

“I was a junior athlete and became ill gradually from the age of 15 to 16 - ended up in hospital, on my death bed, weighing 38 kilos and almost died,” he tells Be.

“I came through that, had an initial turning point and another relapse, so I was back in hospital and almost died again.

He continues: “Came through that and literally just transformed my body – I had a team mate who came in all bronzed and broad shoulders – so I just though, ‘I don’t care what I have to do I want to get my body back and looking like that.

“So I just committed myself to literally transforming my life – not just the body, but the training and nutrition mindset as well.

“So that kind of launched me into the career that I’ve been in now for the past 10 to 12 years.”

Jay, who was booted off The Bachelorette last night alongside Aaron, now runs his own Wellness business.

Wow, what a nightmare. Good for him on turning his health issues around with determination.
